Hmm interesting, as on other distributions (Fedora, openSUSE, Gentoo and Arch Linux, I checked) they are available. > Also I'm not aware of any other projects besides > upstream using the usbguard library. Are there any 3rd party > applications? That might change things... I revived the Qt applet [1] that upstream removed, since there is no other GUI equivalent other than GNOME Shell (so not an option for whoever does not use it). An item in my TODO list is get rid of the library, which I already started to do (i.e. the communication is done via usbguard-dbus instead of the IPC). The other usages of the library are: - logging (should be easy) - parsing the rules, which is a non-trivial task (given their syntax) [1] https://github.com/pinotree/usbguard-applet-qt/ So up to you: I can live with a locally built src:usbguard that provides libusbguard-dev until I need it. -- Pino Toscano
